Model designations

3+ D

The Bio 3+D is a standard Class III microbiological safety cabinet which is designed to exhaust HEPA filtered air to atmosphere via a dedicated duct and remote extract fan. The workspace is totally enclosed and access to the work space is by the use of gloves or gauntlets set into the visor

3/1+D

The Bio 3/1+D is a 'hybrid' cabinet that is designed to operate in Class III mode as above or in Class I mode. In Class III mode, access to the workspace is via gloves or gauntlets set into a removable closure panel.
